"Love is not a place"
Put your dreams on a shelf
Watch them wither away
Watch them turn into hay
Watch them go the way of all things
Love is not a place
I was born in the year
gas prices were low
May Day parades were to proceed as before
As though nothing had changed
nothing had blown up
Everything's rotten, everything must go
Love is not a place...
“Love is Not a Place” is an anti-nationalist hymn. The video features tongue-in-cheek socialist nostalgia, filmed in former east Berlin.
"Power and Exclusion from Power" EP continues exploring the narrative of power, which is an underlying thread in Ocher's writing, and much like “The West Against The People”, her last full length release, this collection too is accompanied by socio-political writing focusing on the Jewish-Ukranian artist's background.
The new tracks are the first to emerge of the recording sessions at Palazzo Stabile (Italy) with Norwegian microtonal artist Peder Simonsen and mixed with Mercury award winning producer Mike Lindsay of Tunng and Lump.
